Think about it rationally, user.

Shit you are thinking might happen, you never thought of before the anxiety attack.

Remember it's all in your head. And stop drinking so much, it doesn't help.

It only gets better.

I dont drink, I know theres nothing to even be worried about but my mind wont stop telling me something is wrong. I keep sweating for no reason and other unpleasant shit.

Think about it. What's different now to yesterday?

Nothing. I know it's hard to get your mind around, but realising that nothing has changed since before you attack, helps a lot.

I'm trying to think of it that way. Even the smallest thing gets me worked up. for instance today i saw a new barely visible scratch on my car and my brain is trying to tell me someone keyed it but I know that is not the case. now any scratch on anything sets me off

god damnit

You're going to die

But you know rationally that no-one has keyed it. That's the first step. And even if they did, what matter is it, other than a scratch?

You've mentally taken the first step, you're not being irrational. Work on that. It's not as bad as you think. You own a console or any PC games? Play them. Watch some porn, have a wank.

All will be good, just don't let it consume you. Your brain and your thoughts need to be more active than the anxiety, and it sounds like you're already ahead of it

what? i was just point out the fact that kissing has a tremendous calming effect for those that are suffering panic attacks. it's settled science, much like global warming is. but who or what you kiss, totally up to op.

> you will never again kiss another twelve year old boy without it being pedo

This doesnt make it worse

Its not the scratch that bothers me it's just the fact that if it did get keyed, someone is out to get me. and the fact that I wouldnt know who it is makes it worse. But I should probably erase that idea if possible. im on good terms with literally everyone, mainly cause I dont talk to anybody. I think I need to get out more and do things. might take a walk. I do have PC games and usually they help, but sometimes when i'm having anxiety issues I dont feel like playing games.

>tfw no one to kiss

Me too. I need to take a shower in the common toilet block (I'm in a student residency) but I'm stressing the fuck out about passing someone because I've anxiety issues since teenage. Also, there's the fact that it seems that everyone in my floor are knowing eachother and that I missed the moment to meet them; now it's just 'hello' 'good bye' when meeting in the corridor.
You're not alone in your anxiety user.

No one is out to get you, that's the irrationality setting in that you know to fight.

Force yourself to play games, I have anxiety attacks at work and it sucks hard. Try jacking off, it helps.

I cant even make phone calls without getting nervous, especially leaving voicemails

I work in tech support. Phonecalls are my thing. I stutter all over the fucking shop. Try not to think about it, be natural. Thinking makes it worse

I overthink it and end up stuttering or mumbling and i worry they wont be able to understand me

Jacking off usually does help. will probably do that. i'm also thinking about getting some medication for it, like lorazepam or something

Any *pam is good.

I just dont want to be dependant on it, it's addictive isnt it? I wouldnt use it reckless either. i'd take the reccomended dosage

Some of the best days you'll ever live haven't even happened yet, user.

thanks for the help so far

I think talking about it is helping. I dont really have anybody to talk to in person about this. and the few i do, dont know what its like since they have no issues with any type of anxiety. they just tell me to get over it

fuck all you people that think its just something you can will away. anxiety problems are a serious thing and should be taken seriously. youre like those faggots who respond to depression with "just be happier". OP find something to occupy your mind. play a fast paced video game, maybe solve puzzles or something. just keep your mind occupied and eventually it will pass

go talk to a medical professional about it, theyll get you sorted. depending on what your specific problems are different drugs will help. for example, weed can be pretty great for some people, stop you from overthinking shit, but for other people it can make you paranoid as fuck. experiment and find out what works for you

Alot of people say its just general nervousness and its natural, but they're the same people who are social butterflies. shits wreaking havoc on my body and mind. my chest hurts and i dont want my heart to die

I do occasionally smoke, and it does help me forget, but only temporarily. I'm going to schedule an appt with my doctor asap

You calm down right now or I'm going to take my belt off and make you calm down.

You gotta be real careful with benzodiazepines.
A one off pill here and there is not a worry, but daily usage causes dependancy issues.

In my opinion diazepam would be a great choice, it has a long half-life so it'll work longer than lorazepam/ Ativan.

>Trips

How would I go about getting a doctor to prescribe me something like that? I've heard theyll try to prescribe a SSRI or some shit first

That reminded me of this at 22 seconds in youtu.be/RsGkk1GGw3w

for fucks sake don't take an SSRI if you're suicidal. Or, if you're going to take MDMA. MDMA won't do fuck all and you'll waste your money.

Where do you live?

I'm in Australia, and the standard prescribing guidelines always recommend SSRI's as a first defence. It's just the fact that benzodiazepines have a high abuse potential and in comparison to SSRI's are much more dangerous.

Not sure about other countries, but AUS/NZ psychiatrists follow the RANZCP guidelines, so good luck getting your hands on them.

>do drugs, and become dependent on a street dealer or the pharmaceutical industry

fuck off, you're part of the problem.

I live in Hamburgerland USA.

Simply calm down.

It'll all work out fine in the end

It's those chemtrails spraying psychotropic chemicals all over us.
We are all tripping balls.
It's a survival trip so most people don't notice the effects but you present a bad case my boy. It won't be long now before your peaking through the blinds. I would advise you to get inebriated as possible. With luck you will forget all this business in the first place. It's for the best.
